Optociliary shunts and sickle retinopathy in a woman with sickle cell trait

T P Dowhan et al. Ann Ophthalmol. 1990 Feb.

Abstract

We report a case of unilateral optociliary shunt vessels and sickle cell retinopathy in a patient with sickle cell trait. Sickle cell retinopathy has rarely been reported in patients with sickle cell trait hemoglobinopathy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the association of sickle cell trait, unilateral sickle cell retinopathy, and ipsilateral optociliary shunt vessels.
